If your point is that they’re pro-CCP, you’ll probably get your point across better by calling them “tankies” than “communists.” I identify as a communist, but I’d be first in line to say “fuck tankies.”
Stalin and Mao were good actually, the CCP has never done a bad thing ever, and Russia should roll over Europe with their invincible tanks, because the west is bad, therefore anyone who disagrees with the west is flawless.
That may be an uncharitable exaggeration, but surprisingly not by very much.
